Would you decline to upload on that basis? I appreciate you don't think there's a benefit, but is there any appreciable harm from having the ‘adventure-common’ package? > I think it is cool to have a modern Python3 version but it would be > rather boring to have identical versions that simply reuse the same > story from advent.dat. My thinking is that the Python 3 package is rather idiosyncratic, and that I'd like to make it clear the common files are available for different ports from the original Fortran program. I'm not going to insist, but I'd like to know whether you think this structure is harmful, or only that this isn't the style you would choose. > colossal-cave-adventure.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): > value "colossal-cave-adventure.png" for key "Icon" in group "Desktop > Entry" is an icon name with an extension, but there should be no > extension as described in the Icon Theme Specification if the value is > not an absolute path I didn't see that part of the specification, thank you. > Please change the Vcs fields […] so that the name of the git > repository is identical to the source package name Okay. The name ‘pkg-python-adventure’ was originally chosen because the repository had only the Debian packaging, like other ‘pkg-foo’ repositories.
